Minecraft Adds Versatile Spear Weapon
Mounts of Mayhem update introduces the Spear, offering new combat options for players with unique attack modes.
The Mounts of Mayhem update in Minecraft introduces the spear, a versatile weapon perfect for both mounted and ground combat. Designed as a bridge between the sword and trident, it features two attack modes: Jab and Charge.
Versions & Loaders
This update applies to Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions, integrating seamlessly with existing gameplay. The spear requires 2 sticks and a tier material: wood, stone, copper, iron, gold, diamond, or netherite.
Performance & Fixes
The spear's Jab attack provides a swift melee option with an extended reach. Charge attacks benefit from increased speed, causing high damage, knockback, and potential to dismount enemies. However, holding the Charge too long diminishes these effects.
Impact / What’s Next
Players can enhance their offensive strategies by incorporating spears, especially effective when combined with mounts like horses and Elytra. The spear expands tactical options, influencing both solo adventures and multiplayer engagements.
